The p53 tumor suppressor protein, known to be critically important in several processes including cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis, is highly regulated by multiple mechanisms, most certifiably the Murine Double Minute 2–Murine Double Minute X (MDM2–MDMX) heterodimer. The role of MDM2–MDMX in cell-cycle regulation through inhibition of p53 has been well established. Here we report that in cells either lacking p53 or expressing certain tumor-derived mutant forms of p53, loss of endogenous MDM2 or MDMX, or inhibition of E3 ligase activity of the heterocomplex, causes cell-cycle arrest. This arrest is correlated with a reduction in E2F1, E2F3, and p73 levels. Remarkably, direct ablation of endogenous p73 produces a similar effect on the cell cycle and the expression of certain E2F family members at both protein and messenger RNA levels. These data suggest that MDM2 and MDMX, working at least in part as a heterocomplex, may play a p53-independent role in maintaining cell-cycle progression by promoting the activity of E2F family members as well as p73, making them a potential target of interest in cancers lacking wild-type p53.

Abstract Objectives Piceatannol (PIC) is a polyphenolic and resveratrol analog that is found in many vegetables consumed by humans. Like resveratrol, PIC has beneficial effects on health due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-proliferative features. However, the molecular targets of PIC in prostate cancer (PCa), which is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, are still poorly understood. Preventing cancer through dietary sources is a promising strategy to control diseases. Therefore, the aim of present study was to investigate the molecular mechanistic of actions of PIC in PCa cell lines with different genetic background common to human prostate cancer. Methods Human PCa cell lines (PC-3, 22Rv1, LNCaP, and VCaP) were treated with different doses of PIC (5–40 µM) and used for cell viability assay, measurement of total free fatty acids (FFA) and lactate, and cell cycle distribution. Results PIC treatment dose- and time-dependently reduced viability in PC-3 (androgen-independent, PTEN null, p53 null) and VCaP cells (androgen-responsive, wild-type PTEN, mutant p53). Because metabolic alterations, such as increased glucose and lipid metabolism are implicated in pathogenesis of in PCa, we tested if PIC could affect these pathways. Results from lactate and total free fatty acid assays in VCaP, 22Rv1 (castration-resistant, wild-type PTEN, mutant p53), and LNCaP (androgen-responsive, PTEN null, wild-type p53) revealed no effect of PIC on these metabolisms. However, PIC treatment delayed cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase concomitant with the induction of apoptosis in both LNCaP and 22Rv1 cells, suggesting that growth inhibitory effect of PIC in PCa is associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death at least LNCaP and 22Rv1 cells. Conclusions While PIC treatment does not alter lipid or glucose metabolism, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction are likely important in anti-cancer effects of PIC.

Abstract While the mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 cleavage is understood, the basis for the large variation in mutant recovery for a given target sequence between cell lines is much less clear. We hypothesized that this variation may be due to differences in how the DNA damage response affects cell cycle progression. We used incorporation of EdU as a marker of cell cycle progression to analyze the response of several human cell lines to CRISPR/Cas9 treatment with a single guide directed to a unique locus. Cell lines with functionally wild-type TP53 exhibited higher levels of cell cycle arrest compared to lines without. Chemical inhibition of TP53 protein combined with TP53 and RB1 transcript silencing alleviated induced arrest in TP53+/+ cells. Using dCas9, we determined this arrest is driven in part by Cas9 binding to DNA. Additionally, wild-type Cas9 induced fewer 53BP1 foci in TP53+/+ cells compared to TP53−/− cells and DD-Cas9, suggesting that differences in break sensing are responsible for cell cycle arrest variation. We conclude that CRISPR/Cas9 treatment induces a cell cycle arrest dependent on functional TP53 as well as Cas9 DNA binding and cleavage. Our findings suggest that transient inhibition of TP53 may increase genome editing recovery in primary and TP53+/+ cell lines.

AbstractThere exists a consensus that combining hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and chemotherapy promotes chemotherapy sensitivity in GBM cells. However, few studies have explored the mechanism involved. HIF1α and HIF2α are the two main molecules that contribute to GBM malignant progression by inhibiting apoptosis or maintaining stemness under hypoxic conditions. Moreover, Sox2, a marker of stemness, also contributes to GBM malignant progression through stemness maintenance or cell cycle arrest. Briefly, HIF1α, HIF2α and Sox2 are highly expressed under hypoxia and contribute to GBM growth and chemoresistance. However, after exposure to HBO for GBM, whether the expression of the above factors is decreased, resulting in chemosensitization, remains unknown. Therefore, we performed a series of studies and determined that the expression of HIF1α, HIF2α and Sox2 was decreased after HBO and that HBO promoted GBM cell proliferation through cell cycle progression, albeit with a decrease in stemness, thus contributing to chemosensitization via the inhibition of HIF1α/HIF2α-Sox2.

ABSTRACT Many viruses interact with the host cell division cycle to favor their own growth. In this study, we examined the ability of influenza A virus to manipulate cell cycle progression. Our results show that influenza A virus A/WSN/33 (H1N1) replication results in G0/G1-phase accumulation of infected cells and that this accumulation is caused by the prevention of cell cycle entry from G0/G1 phase into S phase. Consistent with the G0/G1-phase accumulation, the amount of hyperphosphorylated retinoblastoma protein, a necessary active form for cell cycle progression through late G1 into S phase, decreased after infection with A/WSN/33 (H1N1) virus. In addition, other key molecules in the regulation of the cell cycle, such as p21, cyclin E, and cyclin D1, were also changed and showed a pattern of G0/G1-phase cell cycle arrest. It is interesting that increased viral protein expression and progeny virus production in cells synchronized in the G0/G1 phase were observed compared to those in either unsynchronized cells or cells synchronized in the G2/M phase. G0/G1-phase cell cycle arrest is likely a common strategy, since the effect was also observed in other strains, such as H3N2, H9N2, PR8 H1N1, and pandemic swine H1N1 viruses. These findings, in all, suggest that influenza A virus may provide favorable conditions for viral protein accumulation and virus production by inducing a G0/G1-phase cell cycle arrest in infected cells.

Abstract Background: Dysregulation of cell cycle progression is one of the common features of human cancer cells, however, its mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to clarify the role and the underlying mechanisms of Roquin1 in cell cycle arrest induction in breast cancer.Methods: Public cancer databases were analyzed to identify the expression pattern of Roquin1 in human breast cancers and the significant association with patient survival. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blots were performed to detect the expression of Roquin1 in breast cancer samples and cell lines. Cell counting, MTT assay, flow cytometry, and in vivo study were conducted to investigate the effects of Roquin1 on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and tumor progression. RNA-sequencing was applied to identify the differential genes and pathways regulated by Roquin1. RNA immunoprecipitation assay, luciferase reporter assay, mRNA half-life detection, RNA affinity binding assay, and RIP-ChIP were used to explore the molecular mechanisms of Roquin1.Results: We showed that Roquin1 expression in breast cancer tissues and cell lines was inhibited, and the reduction in Roquin1 expression was associated with poor overall survival and relapse free survival of patients with breast cancer. Roquin1 overexpression inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation and induced G1/S cell cycle arrest without causing significant apoptosis. In contrast, knockdown of Roquin1 promoted breast cancer cell growth and cycle progression. Moreover, in vivo induction of Roquin1 by adenovirus significantly suppressed breast tumor growth and metastasis. Mechanistically, Roquin1 selectively destabilizing cell cycle–promoting genes, including Cyclin D1, Cyclin E1, cyclin dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) and minichromosome maintenance 2 (MCM2) through targeting the stem–loop structure in the 3’untranslated region (3’UTR) of mRNAs via its ROQ domain, leading to the downregulation of cell cycle–promoting mRNAs.Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that Roquin1 was a novel breast tumor suppressor and could induce G1/S cell cycle arrest by selectively downregulating the expression of cell cycle–promoting genes, which might as a potential molecular target for breast cancer treatment.

ABSTRACT Essential to the oncogenic properties of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) are the activities encoded by the early gene product E7. HPV-16 E7 (E7.16) binds to cellular factors involved in cell cycle regulation and differentiation. These include the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (Rb) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes. While the biological significance of these interactions remains unclear, E7 is believed to help maintain cells in a proliferative state, thus establishing an environment that is conducive to viral replication. Most pathways that govern cell growth converge on downstream effectors. Among these is the cdc25A tyrosine phosphatase. cdc25A is required for G1/S transition, and its deregulation is associated with carcinogenesis. Considering the importance of cdc25A in cell cycle progression, it represents a relevant target for viral oncoproteins. Accordingly, the present study focuses on the putative deregulation of cdc25A by E7.16. Our results indicate that E7.16 can impede growth arrest induced during serum starvation and keratinocyte differentiation. Importantly, these E7-specific phenotypes correlate with elevated cdc25A steady-state levels. Reporter assays performed with NIH 3T3 cell lines and human keratinocytes indicate that E7 can transactivate the cdc25A promoter. In addition, transcriptional activation by E7.16 requires the distal E2F site within the cdc25A promoter. We further demonstrate that the ability of E7 to abrogate cell cycle arrest, activate cdc25A transcription, and increase cdc25A protein levels requires intact Rb and HDAC-1 binding domains. Finally, by using the cdk inhibitor roscovitine, we reveal that E7 activates the cdc25A promoter independently of cell cycle progression and cdk activity. Consequently, we propose that E7.16 can directly target cdc25A transcription and maintains cdc25A gene expression by disrupting Rb/E2F/HDAC-1 repressor complexes.

ABSTRACT RASSF6 is a member of the tumor suppressor Ras association domain family (RASSF) proteins. RASSF6 is frequently suppressed in human cancers, and its low expression level is associated with poor prognosis. RASSF6 regulates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and plays a tumor suppressor role. Mechanistically, RASSF6 blocks MDM2-mediated p53 degradation and enhances p53 expression. However, RASSF6 also induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a p53-negative background, which implies that the tumor suppressor function of RASSF6 does not depend solely on p53. In this study, we revealed that RASSF6 mediates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via pRb. RASSF6 enhances the interaction between pRb and protein phosphatase. RASSF6 also enhances P16INK4A and P14ARF expression by suppressing BMI1. In this way, RASSF6 increases unphosphorylated pRb and augments the interaction between pRb and E2F1. Moreover, RASSF6 induces TP73 target genes via pRb and E2F1 in a p53-negative background. Finally, we confirmed that RASSF6 depletion induces polyploid cells in p53-negative HCT116 cells. In conclusion, RASSF6 behaves as a tumor suppressor in cancers with loss of function of p53, and pRb is implicated in this function of RASSF6.

Ecdysoneless (ECD) is an evolutionarily conserved protein whose germ line deletion is embryonic lethal. Deletion ofEcdin cells causes cell cycle arrest, which is rescued by exogenousECD, demonstrating a requirement ofECDfor normal mammalian cell cycle progression. However, the exact mechanism by which ECD regulates cell cycle is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ECD protein levels and subcellular localization are invariant during cell cycle progression, suggesting a potential role of posttranslational modifications or protein-protein interactions. Since phosphorylated ECD was recently shown to interact with the PIH1D1 adaptor component of the R2TP cochaperone complex, we examined the requirement of ECD phosphorylation in cell cycle progression. Notably, phosphorylation-deficient ECD mutants that failed to bind to PIH1D1in vitrofully retained the ability to interact with the R2TP complex and yet exhibited a reduced ability to rescueEcd-deficient cells from cell cycle arrest. Biochemical analyses demonstrated an additional phosphorylation-independent interaction of ECD with the RUVBL1 component of the R2TP complex, and this interaction is essential for ECD's cell cycle progression function. These studies demonstrate that interaction of ECD with RUVBL1, and its CK2-mediated phosphorylation, independent of its interaction with PIH1D1, are important for its cell cycle regulatory function.
